Yep.  Just make it at least a few MB, maybe even a few 10s of MB - as I remember I had a problem when I wanted more than one kernel and ran out of room for it in the REALLY SMALL partition I’d set up.

NOTE I said MEGA bytes, not GIGA bytes! ;-)

you can still do that, just create a /boot on the spinner

Ugh!

If I can't boot off it, I can't really use it. My use case is one
non-spinning drive to host /, while other, spinning drives hold my huge
partitions like /home, /d, /s, and /scratch. Having all executables
and /etc based config come off a non-spinning drive speeds things up
immensely, but I have to boot off that drive. Unless I did some weird
stuff like putting /boot on a spinning drive and ubertweaking grub or
UEFI.

I assume the new mobos with built in NVIe can easily boot NVIe. Perhaps
I'll wait til the next mobo purchase.
